Sat nav leaves lorry stuck in lane

A lorry driver got his truck stuck down a narrow country lane after following his sat nav, said police.

Officers from Hertfordshire Police arrived to find the articulated lorry stopped across a tight three-way rural junction between two high hedges in the village of Watton-at-Stone, near Stevenage, yesterday.

The driver appeared to have beached his low-riding trailer across a grass mound at the centre of the junction, while trying to manoeuvre his way along the lanes.

It is not known where the lorry was destined, however the section of road around Perrywood Lane and Church Lane had to be closed for two hours until a specialist recovery vehicle removed the blockage.
